Common Use Cases

This is a heavy-duty industrial tool ideal for commercial electricians, plumbers, and framers. It is the correct choice for drilling large holes with hole saws, mixing mud/paint, or drilling anchor holes into concrete and masonry walls. It is significantly heavier and more powerful than the compact series (like the DCD771).

*Note: “20V MAX” refers to the maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload), which is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18 volts.
